I have one of those big invasive Joro spiders in my yard. This thing has made the biggest web I'v ever seen it connects from my back deck to an oak tree about 30 feet away. I watched it clean the leaves out of it the other day and then repair the web, it was fascinating even though it made my skin scrawl at the same time. I expected him to be long gone this morning but I walked out on the deck and he's still just chilling there after a damn hurricane came through! The bad wind is supposed to hit today so we'll see if he makes it another night.
If we’ve said it once then we’ve said it 100 times, it’s not what you know it’s who you know!He doesn't seem to be good at what he does but he gets paid.
As long as he stays outside chomping on the millions of mosquitos we have down here, we’re good. He’s gonna meet the bottom of a Red Wing boot if he tries to come in the house though!I'm waiting to get one near me (Jersey). I saw an article that they're in Bucks County, PA, which is less than an hour away from where i live. It's both anticipation and dread for me.
I know it's a dick thing to say and I don't say it in real life but he just doesn't seem very smart to me. I have this weird thing where I can see truth in people. It's not always right, maybe like 70% accuracy hence why I don't say it in real life. But it's been right often enough that I can't ignore it. I think it's a combination of growing up fucked up and having to figure out who I can trust early in life and just good ol Mystic Rex swag. Either way, it doesn't really matter. If Forrest Gump showed us anything it's that there is more to life that brains!If we’ve said it once then we’ve said it 100 times, it’s not what you know it’s who you know!
His TNA run was really damning. Those shows were terrible. That was a pretty solid roster at the time too and he just couldnt make anything work. There was no fresh ideas, no even decent creative and the company nearly tanked.
He also tried to lunch that Buffalo Cody beer when he didn’t fully have the rights to the name and the lawsuit trying to secure those rights bankrupted him. That seems like a pretty big oversight for a businessman
I think that's why he's so vague and forgetful on a lot of things. I don't think he wants to admit that "I just didnt know what I was doing" and it's a lot easier to just say "I don't remember". He still can't even fully describe what his job was, what he did and what he was in charge of in WCW. It's really weird.I know it's a dick thing to say and I don't say it in real life but he just doesn't seem very smart to me. I have this weird thing where I can see truth in people.

I do think he's oddly charismatic, or at least he was in his day. He's perfect for a corporate situation like WCW. He's kinda outdoorsy with his hunting and motorcycling hobbies so he can seem different than the usual corporate kiss ass. He's a salesman without being too over the top salesman-y. So I can see how he would climb the corporate ladder. He can play the politics a lot better than he can do the jobIt makes ya think how he even got into the positions he's been in. A billionaire just letting him use his money like how he was is crazy work. I think there is more to meets the eye with that guy, Roll. And I'll just leave it at that.

I'd probably let the DUIs slide as well there then lolI will give him that. He does have some charisma. Charisma does go a long way. I knew a marine who got like 2 dui's or something, he was staff sergeant(career marine) and usually in the marines that's career suicide. He got busted down to sergeant then as soon as he was up for promotion he got staff sergeant back. He was charismatic as fuck, like what you think of when you imagine a combat marine. He was also really good at his job, though. He chased down an insurgent planting IEDs and brought him in alive ti get interrogated when most marines would juat kill him. He'd do shit like that regularly.

Imagine being a corporate suit in Turner and dealing with Ole fucking Anderson and then your interviewing people to replace him and your dealing with ornery cranky JR and Schiavone who is also the old guard. Then that smooth talking, ken doll walks in. I can see where he got the job
He was just a good ol country white boi that enjoyed war. He was on like 3rd deployment to Iraq when I deployed with him. When he got busted down I was a corporal so we became peers. He was in a different platoon but we were always cool with each other when we saw each other. Hoefully ol boi got a cushy desk job to retire with.
I hope so, Rex, I hope so…
I don't think Sara could grow that good of a stash....
